Matt Cardona Has Not Signed With WWE Despite SmackDown Appearance

AEW

Despite a buzz-worthy return as “Zack Ryder” on SmackDown, Matt Cardona has reportedly not signed a new contract with WWE.

Fightful Select reports that Cardona’s appearance in the “Last Time Is Now” tournament against LA Knight was a “one-off” for the time being. However, Cardona did sign a merchandise agreement, which explains the immediate release of new Zack Ryder t-shirts on WWE Shop.

In a digital exclusive interview, Cardona addressed his status, saying, “This might be a one-time shot. I might get the call tomorrow. It doesn’t matter. Because I’m Zack Ryder. And I’m always ready”. He also remains active on the independent scene and is scheduled for TNA tapings.
